Haptic Feedback - Truth Lifting Its Head Up Above Scandals EP Previews

This week on Select, we have Brenda all the way from Colombia. Throughout the past three years, he has galloped through various  sonic territories within the global electronic music scene, establishing himself as a figure that is hard to define and one of the most innovative DJs in the globe. In his selection and mixing style, Brenda embraces the idea of ‘plunder-techno’, a collage of traditional Latin rhythms, encompassing dembow, cumbia, djembe and guaracha,  interspersed with variations of bass music, while incorporating noise textures close to IDM and club music.

For his select set, the Colombia native DJ and producer brings a mix that encapsulates his passion for the multiplicity of latitudes within the global south and its diaspora. He meshes together threads of Mexican tribal, Colombian bailoteo and Andean techno with the emancipated UK bass scene across the globe, playing on the similarities between Latin dembow and the new waves of electronic music from the Middle East region. “It’s an x-ray of my interests, specifically, my fascination with traditional percussion and how they can be employed in electronic music.” Brenda tells SceneNoise.

ROK DA HOUSE! (Remix)

WoTeR & Paul Bassrock - Get Down (Samay Records)

ICONYC continues its curatorial stride with Unfold, a four-track offering from Cologne-based trio Diode Eins. Including a collaboration with the inimitable Paul Brenning, Unfold tears down walls in favor of raw expression in a state-of-the-art EP that finds Julien Hecker, Jerome Tiaden, and Jannis Klimpel presenting a studied yet emotive exploration of post-club aesthetics, balancing rhythmic heft with experimental nuance.

Biding their time, Diode Eins & Paul Brenning welcome us into "What We Shared" with a boisterous introduction as heavy-handed drumming and winding gears stomp across barren grounds. With tension now settling in, a strobbing low-end pulse takes over, thrusting us down a cavernous spiral as Brenning's stunning vocals cascade around us, lingering in the darkness of our past. Now, tightly wrapped in its allure, we fall deeper inside "What We Shared", offsetting a chain reaction that sees the piece reconfigure itself through a corrosive chemical process for a harrowing contrast in an avant-garde centerpiece.

For our second act, Diode Eins keeps us at the edge of our seats with the ever-shifting "Ain't You". Complex and defiant from the first bar, this creation builds on scattered pieces and left-fielded machinery. Solidifying an intricate framework, the Cologne-based outfit proceeds to deploy a myriad of tantalizing passageways where elements come in and out of frame for a surreal experience. From sultry vocal ad-libs, to angelical swells, and on to razor-sharp alarms and gated pianos, "Ain't You" challenges the finges of club music in a heady and narcotic take on the future. 

This assertive performance continues with "Tambor", where raw energy takes the wheel. Portuguese vocal lines cut through an asymmetrical drum pattern, and a snarling bassline injects urgency into the mix. There's a tension between the human and the machine here, a sense of conflict that plays out across jagged rhythms and looping refrains. In its protest-like momentum, Tambor channels the spirit of resistance via club architecture.

Completing our cinematic dystopian exploration, Diode Eins presents us with the skitterish "Breaking Veils". Delicate, yet granitic, this final cut evokes black holes washing over us as it unfurls over broken shards. Meanwhile, iridescent atmospheres sway and move in mysterious ways before dissipating into the ether as gated vocals step under the limelight. Deeper in our trance, sharp guitar lines draw otherworldly figures in the air, while entropy runs its course, providing a magnificent finale for a record that defies notions with every chord.
